Close Quarters (Her SEAL Protector #1) by Roxie Rivera Read Free Book Online Page B

move on top of him. Back and forth and swiveling in circles, she tried different techniques until she found one that made him groan. Leland wasn't satisfied playing the role of passive participant though. He grabbed her backside and guided her movements. She surrendered to the push and pull of his hands, throwing herself into the pace he wanted and needed. It was too soon for her to climax again. He had done such a good job earlier with that naughty tongue of his that her super sensitive pearl would need an hour or more to recover.
    But that didn't mean she wasn't enjoying herself now. Giving him pleasure exhilarated her. She bounced on his lap, grinding herself against him until he sat up and grasped her hair. He tilted her head back and bared her neck to his teeth. He nipped at her and sucked hard, marking her skin as she rocked slowly atop his cock.
    Leland's arms tightened around her. He embraced her as if he feared she might disappear and fell back to the bed with her still in his arms. He planted a foot on the bed, bending his good knee, and thrust up into her with languid strokes. His tongue darted between her lips, and she realized he wanted to make it last.
    Their mouths mated sensually as Leland began to shake beneath her. She pushed down on him, taking him deep, and clenched her walls around his pulsing cock. He grunted her name, his lips against her neck, and filled her with his hot seed. "Jamie," he murmured. "God, Jamie."
    They remained locked in their embrace for a long time. When he finally let her go, she reluctantly ducked into the bathroom, flicked off the lamp and returned to bed. It didn't escape her notice that he had taken the spot closest to the front door. He held up the covers for her and welcomed her against his side. Tucking her in close, her curled a protective arm around her and kissed her until her lips tingled.
    As he stroked her hair and upper back, Jamie experienced a relaxation and calm she hadn't known in years. Tonight, she felt confident there would be no nightmares. She wouldn't wake in a cold sweat and dry heave to the memory of her father falling to his death. She wouldn't remember the crunch of a spring-loaded cam sliding free from a rock crevice. She wouldn't feel the blinding pain as her knees and arms scraped along the cliff as she fell twenty feet with her father, tumbling down, down, down until an anchor finally caught their weight.
    She wouldn't see the panicked look in his eyes when he heard the sickening snap of the rope and the twang of a carabiner about to give way. The memory of his sweaty hand clutching her calf wouldn't resurface. She wouldn't hear his steady voice as he squeezed her leg. "I love you so much, kiddo. Be brave, Junior."
    She squeezed her eyes shut and willed the awful memory of him cutting the rope and sacrificing his life to save hers to go away. She tried not to hear her shriek echoing in the canyon, but that was a sound she would never forget. One word, just one word, that would haunt her forever.
    Daddy .
    Leland kissed the top of her head, his lips lingering there while he cupped her face and brushed his thumb along the apple of her cheek. She fed off his strength and the security he offered. Earlier, he had admitted to letting his fear of what a relationship with her might mean keep him from going after her. Deep down inside, she understood she hadn't fought for him because he was too much like her father. She had already been left by the only man who had ever loved her unconditionally, albeit in his own strange way. She wasn't sure she had the strength to go through that again.
    But the thought of this one night with Leland being the only one ever was too painful to even consider. Like the pulsing certainty of her heartbeat, she believed the connection she shared with Leland was good and true. He was the one for her.
    Now she just had to find a way to tell him what she had been up to in Samana Bay. She hoped like hell he wasn't going to blow a gasket
